Bicycling about thirty miles from home on an ancient highway, I stopped at an overpass where I found that the place was not empty; instead it held a love story between Harold and Wallyâboth bright, creative, and in love because of each otherâs talents. In 1980 they began a long walk to Central State (the âLongest Dateâ), trekking a hundred miles handâinâhand through sun and rain without complaint. Upon reaching Mount Pleasant, Harold presented Wally with a small book of rhymes heâd written over many years. Now both are 57, still walking together, sharing good vegan lettuce wraps while she reads maps, and always arriving at new places with smilesâan enduring partnership that continues to thrive.

They claim cramming individual subjects into separate compartments hinders understanding, whereas a fluid, connected sequence of curiosities allows new knowledge to flow naturally from one idea to the next.

In DayâŻ37 of his Quarantine log, the writer reflects on a creative but exhausting week marked by rhyming âsevenâ with âelevenâ and âheaven,â while juggling coding tasks across multiple languages. Heâs been experimenting in Bash, missing older Perl syntax (including nonâcapturing regexes), and feeling nostalgic for classic CGI and editor tools.
